The event at Hospitality House will involve the finalists cooking for judges before the winners are announced at a ceremony in the House of Commons on February 7.

Speaking ahead of the finals, Mr Morgan said: “I am very excited to be put through to the final four of the competition.

“It's a privilege to represent The Plough Inn and Fuller's as a pub company and what Fuller's food stands for.”

MP Virendra Sharma added: “The Plough is a fantastic pub and I am not in the least bit surprised that Ben has been chosen to participate in the Big Cook-Off in January.

“Myself, his team and the local community are behind him 100%, wishing him the very best of luck.”

The panel of judges this year included Andrej Prokes, executive chef at Nestle Professional, Kate Hempsall, consultant to the beer and pub trade, Dawn Redman, director at Hospitality Jobs UK and Paul Dickenson, director of food at Fuller's.
